Shear-Stress Distribution Formula Elements

Variables
Shear Stress
Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: StressUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Viscosity Coefficient
The Viscosity Coefficient is the ratio of applied stress to the rate of straining (change of strain with time).
Symbol: η
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity Gradient
Velocity Gradient is the difference in velocity between the adjacent layers of the fluid.
Symbol: Vg

How to Evaluate Shear-Stress Distribution?

Shear-Stress Distribution evaluator uses Shear Stress = Viscosity Coefficient*Velocity Gradient to evaluate the Shear Stress, Shear-Stress Distribution formula is defined as a measure of the stress exerted by a fluid on a surface, particularly in hypersonic flow, where the velocity of the fluid is extremely high, and the frictional forces between the fluid and the surface are significant, affecting the flow's behavior and the surface's integrity. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.

How to evaluate Shear-Stress Distribution using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Shear-Stress Distribution, enter Viscosity Coefficient (η) & Velocity Gradient (Vg) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Shear-Stress Distribution
